When it rains, it pours and pours and pours and pours. People here in Texas have been getting hammered by the rain, they have been displaced and some have lost everything. We so desperately needed the rain! Our lakes were so low and we were in a drought. Now our yard is a swamp!! Bugs are horrible and huge!!
Not to mention that we were SUPPOSE to get our carpet put in tomorrow...forget it...too much rain.
Guess we should be careful for what we pray for? Lord, Thank you for all of the rain you have sent to help us. Please Lord, let it move on over to Florida, they are in a drought and need some of your refreshing rain!
Also, watch over those that have lost all that they had and keep us all from danger and rising waters!
I know I have mentioned that our church has been going through some changes. God has moved people around and brought people in to achieve His purpose. Our "lifegroups" meet throughout the week and on Saturday nights. The first one we attended was at my cousins house. We were there so my husband could see how to facilitate the group.
There was a question about how do you love one another especially if that person is hard to love?
I will be the first to admit, I have a problem with those that are hard to love!!! I try, but the "flesh" gets in the way!
My husband started talking about his mom, who by the way is an alcoholic. He turns to me and ask for a word to describe his mom...this is where I need to learn to look lovingly and smile.
The only word I could think of was:evil. Sorry, that was the only thing that came to my mind. I have come a long way when it comes to my mouth. It is still a work in progress.
I know that it bothers my husband that his mom is mean and nasty. She is his mom and he does love her. She doesn't know the Lord and he is afraid of her dying and going to hell.
I know that the only thing that we can do is love her. But how do you love someone who is totally negative, mean, nasty, deceitful and feels that the whole world and everyone in it owes her????? She is such a bitter person.
What in her past has made her so angry? The really sad part about this is: she isn't the only one in this world like this. So many people are so messed up and they keep creating their own gods to their life and for their purpose.
This week in our groups we will be talking about bearing one another burdens. If I should be asked anything I pray that I will be able to smile, look lovingly and keep my mouth shut!!!
Pray for those in the flood watch and those who have lost everything.
Have a wonderful and hopefully dry weekend!!!
